Follow the full play-by-play and box score →Rock M Nation’s three published Week 10 predictions picked No. 18 Missouri to beat No. 7 Texas at home, even with the Longhorns listed at -2.5. The ranked matchup is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. CST on ESPN.
Sammy Stava predicted a 28-24 Missouri win, pointing to Texas’ health concerns, Arch Manning’s road inconsistency and a potential quarterback edge for Austin Simmons. Matthew Gustafson picked the Tigers 27-24, while Josh Matejka forecast a 24-21 result and argued that Missouri’s defense could disrupt Manning if Simmons delivers a solid game.
The game leads an SEC-heavy Saturday on the first College Football Playoff rankings slate. The schedule includes seven matchups between ranked teams, four involving two SEC programs. A win would keep Missouri’s CFP hopes alive.
The writers split on No. 5 Alabama’s trip to No. 14 LSU, where the Tigers were listed at -6.5. Stava and Matejka picked LSU, 24-20 and 30-24, respectively, while Gustafson selected Alabama 30-24.
All three published predictions favored No. 13 Tennessee, listed at -5.5, against No. 6 Kentucky at Neyland Stadium. Stava had Tennessee winning 38-35, Gustafson chose 28-24 and Matejka predicted 31-24.
No. 2 Georgia was listed at -3.5 for its visit to No. 10 Ole Miss. Stava predicted a 31-23 Bulldogs win, and Gustafson picked Georgia 31-27 while citing the Rebels’ absence of Kewan Lacy.
Why it matters
Missouri can keep its CFP hopes alive by beating a top-10 opponent at home. Alabama-LSU, Kentucky-Tennessee and Georgia-Ole Miss also carry ranking implications across the SEC.
What to watch next
No. 18 Missouri hosts No. 7 Texas at 11:00 a.m. CST on ESPN. The other listed SEC ranked matchups follow later Saturday.
